Hanoi [Vietnam], April 28: According to On.cc on April 27th, Ye Xuan recently revealed that she is busy dealing with issues related to the assets left behind by her late father. According to the "goddess of historical dramas ," her father had pancreatic cancer for many years and passed away in 2025. During her father's illness, the actress took him to many places for treatment both domestically and internationally, putting her work aside to be by his side.
According to Ye Xuan, the woman who cared for her father during his illness was not simply a nanny but also his confidante. This woman allegedly plotted to seize half of the actress's father's assets, holding the land deeds to the ancestral burial ground of the Ye family. However, she later filed a lawsuit against the 80s-born star and her stepmother to claim the remaining inheritance.
Recently, actress Meng Lijun has been busy pursuing a lawsuit. On.cc quoted the 46-year-old beauty as saying: "Everything has entered the legal process, so I can't say too much. But that person doesn't know that my father hasn't actually divorced my stepmother. In mainland China, marital assets are highly valued, so we are very confident that we will get back what rightfully belongs to us."
Ye Xuan further revealed: "Before he passed away, my father also gave instructions regarding his funeral arrangements and left me quite a lot. But I felt sorry for my stepmother and younger brother; they were separated from my father, so I divided my share among them, only keeping mementos with sentimental value." The actress also said that only after her father's death did she realize he had such a large fortune, but she stated that she doesn't care about her father's wealth.
The actress from the film "Vast Sky" confided that what pained her most wasn't the loss of her property to strangers, but the fact that her father still hasn't been laid to rest in his ancestral grave. She promised to complete her father's funeral arrangements. "That woman used underhanded tactics to seize our family's ancestral burial ground. Although my father's ashes are carefully preserved, a person must eventually find true peace. No matter what, I must bring my father to rest beside my grandfather," she expressed.
In addition, Ye Xuan also mentioned the aforementioned nanny: "She's not highly educated, doesn't understand the law, and is greedy, so to me, this whole thing is just a joke. On the contrary, this incident has made the relationship between me, my stepmother, and my younger brother closer."
Ye Xuan reappears after the incident.
Ye Xuan chose to put her career on hold to be with her father in his final years. Looking back, she shared that stopping her activities and taking on family responsibilities was entirely worthwhile. During her father's cancer treatment, the two became closer and understood each other better.
Following the tragic loss of her father, Ye Xuan stated that she can now fully dedicate herself to her comeback and hopes to create quality works to repay the expectations and love from her audience. Recently, the actress starred in the short film " The Young Mistress from Northeast China ," which garnered 3 billion views in mainland China. The actress revealed that the film crew has planned to shoot a sequel in May, and it has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from viewers, with over 5 million people pre-ordering it.
Ye Xuan was born in 1980 in Hangzhou, China, and grew up in the United States. She won the Miss Chinese International pageant in 1999 and subsequently worked under TVB (Hong Kong) until 2005, before expanding her career in mainland China. The actress made her mark in numerous films, including: Daji and King Zhou, Meng Lijun, Turning Point in Life, Vast Sky, National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance, The Secret History of Yang Guifei, and Dragon Gate Inn. Ye Xuan captivated audiences with her innocent and sweet beauty, earning her the title of "ancient beauty" on the Chinese screen.
